[Rails-devel] Update

[<wak...@ea...>]

It's been a while since we've seen much traffic on the list.

I've been slowly poking and prodding the Hex code into submission.  Right now, I've got a working test class for it in CVS.  Essentially it's just a stripped down version of the Colossus code. I've stripped out all of the Colosssus-specific bits.  So, now it's ready for us to extend it to fit our own needs.

The todo list I've got so far for the HexMap looks something like this:

# Define map XML specification
# Generate map XML files
# Need to create classes for loading the map files.
# Decide whether to draw hexes using Drawing2D or use loaded graphics overlayed on top of the hex panel.
# Decide on tile XML specification
# Generate tile XML files
# Create code for placing tiles
